Grace, Faith and Hope

This post is from Angel Missions Haiti blog site. They work in Haiti and here to bring children to the U.S. like we do with Hands That Heal. They do a lot more kids than we do and have been doing it for a long time. I keep up on many missionaries blogs in Haiti daily. I see posts daily about children starving. DAILY. I wish I could do more all the time. It is so difficult for me to watch innocent children die and starve.
I cannot imagine having triplets in Haiti with no food or medical care to offer them. Pray that they have a chance to survive. Ask yourself what you can do. There are so many ways to help. That is what God asks of us daily. There is need everywhere you look, here and in Haiti. What you give to the least of these you give to God. I normally dont say things like this to others but what can we do to help those in need?? I challenge you to pray and ask God what He would have you do.

However While we were in the Village Sammy is from the doctor said he wanted to show me a set of triplets that had been born on July 6 (my Jonathans birthday). We went to the home. A one room place with 7 children. The mom was sick and can not take care of them. We tried to find formula but none anywhere to be found. The parents showed me 3 empty formula cans that someone had given them. They said they had been out of formula for 8 days. They had been giving them sugar water. They begged me to take them and make them well like baby Sammy. So Momma V is now in Port de Paix with 3 infants at yet another missions who have taken us all in for the next two days until I can get these three to port au prince with me.
We have given them the names of Faith Hope and Grace (as we can not say the names we were told)
Faith and Hope weigh in at 2 pounds. Grace is 3 pounds. At the present time they third feeding no vomiting (Praise God) they are coming alert. Hope and Grace have bad coughs and had a fever which has now broken on both. We started with an eye dropper earlier today and now all 3 have a suck reflex which is wonderful.
The Mission we are at is called Lashbrook family ministries. They are helping me feed them every two hours. We will do this around the clock all night.
Please pray that all 3 girls make it through the night, God gives us the wisdom and visa's for these 3. All of the orphanages I know are over filled and can not take them in. They are going to require a lot of care to make it.
